关于我们
The Taos Institute is a community of scholars and practitioners concerned with the social processes essential for the construction of reason, knowledge, and human value. We are a non-profit (501c3) organization committed to exploring, developing and disseminating ideas and practices that promote creative, appreciative and collaborative processes in families, communities and organizations around the world. Social constructionist theory and practice locates the source of meaning, value and action in the relational connection among people. It is through our social and relational processes that we construct the world. We achieve our educational ends through conferences, workshops, publications, a PhD program, certificate programs, distance learning programs, newsletters, and web-based offerings. We work at the interface between the scholarly community and societal practitioners from communities of mental health, social work, counseling, organizational change, education, community building, gerontology, healthcare and more. We develop and explore the ways in which scholarly research can enrich professional practices, and practices can stimulate scholarly inquiry.

Acompá?anos a explorar las provocaciones del libro Sobrecarga Cerebral de Lois Holzman, el cual desafía la primacía del saber como base para comprender el desarrollo humano. La autora nos ofrece el enfoque de la Terapéutica Social, basado en el grupo como la unidad de crecimiento y el juego como vía de aprendizaje y desarrollo. Nos propone que el crecimiento personal/grupal no necesariamente proviene del saber, sino de la experiencia compartida. https://lnkd.in/dEHzD3jY
